Just For Fun - Old Wives Tales

I already know that i'm expecting a girl but I just wanted to do a little recap of some of the old wives tales on gender to see how many say girl and how many say boy :D

Old Wives Tale #1: Heart RateIf the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy. We never got told the heart rate :( Prediction outcome: INCONCLUSIVE

Old Wives Tale #2: Shape of BellyIf you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy.I feel like i'm carrying high with a big belly all spread out! Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #3: Ring TestUsing a string, hang your wedding ring over your pregnant belly. You are having a girl if the ring swings back and forth and it’s a boy if it swings in a circle. Not yet married, hmmmm! Prediction outcome: INCONCLUSIVE

Old Wives Tale #4: AcneIf you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.My skin is terrible! Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #5: CravingsPeople believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl. Craved a lot of orange juice in the first trimester and now can't get enough sweets :o/ Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #6: Skin under Left EyeThe eye test is when a “V” or “branches” appear when you pull down the skin under your left eye. If you see a “V” or “branches” in the white part, you’re having a girl. I have no idea!! Prediction outcome: INCONCLUSIVE

Old Wives Tale #7: Time of ConceptionThe person that is most aggressive in bed at the time of conception is the opposite of what the baby will be. Maybe I should of made a quick note... next time! Hehe!Prediction outcome: INCONCLUSIVE

Old Wives Tale #9: Moodiness and a Little PeckerIf you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because there’s a little penis inside you. Mark tells me i'm moody, I disagree lol! Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #10: Chinese Gender ChartThe Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived. Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #11: Mom’s BeautyBasically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, a little boy it is. I look awful! Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #12: Dream of Sex of BabyIf you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having. Since finding out i've always had dreams about a boy. Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #13: Clumsy vs. GracefulIf the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy. I'm very clumsy! Prediction outcome: BOY

Old Wives Tale #14: Side You Most Rest OnIf a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl. Prediction outcome: BOY

Old Wives Tale #15: Dad’s Weight GainIf the dad-to-be gains weight while you are pregnant, it’s a girl. If he doesn’t gain weight, you’re having a boy. He actually lost weight! Prediction outcome: BOY

Old Wives Tale #16: Breast TestIf a pregnant woman’s left breast is larger than the right breast, she’s having a girl. If the right breast is larger, it’s a boy. Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #17: What Do You Think?71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having. I thought she was a girl and Mark thought girl as soon as I took the test! Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #18: Morning SicknessIf you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl. A lot of sickness here :( Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #21: FeetAre your feet colder now that you are pregnant? If so, you just might be having a boy. If your feet have stayed the same before pregnancy and during, you’re having a little girl. Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #22: HeadachesIf you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy. First trimester didn't have headaches but now I do. Going to go with the first trimester as I didn't know the sex then. Prediction outcome: GIRL

Old Wives Tale #23: Baby NamesIt is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particularly baby. Me and Mark could not agree on a boy name at all. Prediction outcome: GIRL
